Like my vote for Obama in 2008, to me Romney is the lesser of two evils. If I didn't feel so strongly that all those who can vote should vote, this year's choices are so uncompelling that I might be tempted to just sit this one out.

I will be disappointed but not surprised if I'm voting for someone else in 2016. In fact if Romney is elected, unless there is an amazing turnaround of legislative productivity, consistent with my "never vote for an incumbent" ground rule, I'll probably be voting for yet another candidate in 2016.
